There's already a program on your RaQ to do that; I don't remember exactly what it is, but it's called by the passwd program (see "man passwd"). Sun, or you, could implement it. To see what I man run "passwd" from your nonprivileged user prompt, and try just typing in your name or a word from the dictionary. > P.S.

RaQ4, as I recall, uses a library that allows much larger passwords. However it's easy to generate a secure password in eight characters, and it's easy to generate an insecure password using many more characters.
